I absolutely love this stuff. If you are serious car buff and like to keep you vehicles looking their best this is a must have product.
I came across detail spray for the first when I used clay bar on my black 2007 300C. As part of the process of using clay bar you keep the surface wet with detailing spray. After the clay bar process you apply wax. Anyone who owns a black vehicle knows how the wax can smudge when being removed leaving wax swirls behind that can be hard to get off without a lot of elbow grease or a buffer. What I found is using detail spray and micro fiber clothes after removing the bulk of the wax makes getting the rest of the wax off, and any smudging left behind, super easy. And it really brings out the shine.
After I ran out of the original detail spray that came with the clay bar kit I purchased the Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer. I am a huge fan of the Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax and wanted to stay with the product line. This stuff if the bomb. I use it like I described after waxing a vehicle, but I also use it every time I wash my car as well. Even though the Meguiar's wax hold up real well, the detail spray adds a polymer coating that makes the car's surface feel like glass and any water just beads up. The micro fiber clothes just slide across the surface. In fact if you leave something on top of the car be careful it will slide right off - no joke. It only take a few extra minutes after drying to quickly spray and buff out the vehicle using micro fiber clothes. I normally just do the horizontal surfaces that get the most sun exposure and it really beings out the shine and extends the time between waxing too. Seriously I wax my car maybe once or twice a summer (I store my car over the winter) and the combination of the Meguiar's wax and detail spray keeps water beading up the entire summer. And my car is not kept in the garage either. I also spray it on my sunroof glass and windows and it acts like any of the rain repellent sprays on the market so there is that too.
So yes, I definitely recommend this product.....however, there is one caveat when it comes to this product working as it should. You need a very smooth surface for it to be at it's best. And it my opinion, the only way to get that smooth surface is to clay bar. I would guess that any negative reviews on this product are related to the surface not being smooth like glass. Yes it will still work without a clay bar finish, but the difference is pretty significant.
To be honest, I have not read the reviews since it does not matter. I know what I am talking about....trust me. Do yourself a favor and clay bar your vehicle. It is not that difficult - I do it every spring, and the results are nothing short of amazing. Even a brand new car needs clay bar. Just sitting on the lot they can get contaminants on the surface that can only be removed with clay bar. If you run your hand on the surface of your car or truck's hood or deck, and it makes a noise like rubbing on paper and does not feel like glass, your car needs to be clay barred. Once you try it you will never not do it again.
